Abstract
Objective
This oral presentation proposes to explain the current state of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in health care and education. We will also showcase a research project that used GAI to create radiographic images and another ongoing project exploring the potential of GAI in dental education and research.
Study Design
Research 1—A pilot study was conducted to enhance ultra-low dose cone beam computed tomographic images of dry skulls to diagnostically acceptable standards. The images were trained using a pix2pix deep generative model.
Research 2—A pilot study is being conducted exploring the accuracy of case reports generated by ChatGPT. We queried ChatGPT to create hypothetical case reports and modified the queries to get the best possible output.
Results
Research 1—Preliminary results indicated that the synthesized images are comparable with images made with normal exposure.
Research 2—Preliminary results indicate that ChatGPT can create a convincing and accurate case report. Limitations in use of citations were observed.
Conclusion
GAI like Open AI's ChatGPT, Google's Bard, and Microsoft's CoPilot have caused a massive shift in public knowledge of AI. GAI will have major impact in health care and education.
GAI tools like ChatGPT have huge potential for use and misuse in educational and research spheres. Creating questions and explanation on complex topics can be done on these tools. Websites like MidJourney can create interesting and novel images. Radiographic images can be created using specific algorithms.
We intend to demonstrate how to effectively use GAI like ChatGPT, describe ethical concerns and how to address and regulate them in academia, and identify innovative uses for AI and ChatGPT in dental care and education. GAI is a freight train with no breaks and as educators and healthcare practitioners we need to discuss and propose policies and safeguards for responsible use of AI.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
